______ Package Contents Home MultiRoom Booster Window Entry Cable Inside Antenna Outside Antenna Outside Antenna Mounting Bracket HOME MULTI-ROOM 30’ Cables Qty.
______ Preparation You Will Need (tools not included) Make sure the following materials are prepared and ready for your installation. 1 to 2 hours 1 Person (2 people to make antenna calibration easier) o o o o o o Ladder Phillips-head screwdriver 10mm open-end wrench or adjustable wrench Drill (if routing cable through wall) 1.25”-2.
______ Step 1-A & B: Connect Inside Antenna To Booster Place the Inside Antenna where you need the greatest signal boost. Connect Inside Antenna cable to the supplied coax cable then to the bottom port on Home MultiRoom Booster labeled ‘INSIDE’ and place Inside Antenna in weak signal area at least 18 inches away from booster. NOTE: Do not connect booster to power until the system is fully installed.
______ Step 2-A: Point Outside Antenna Toward Nearest Cell Tower Point the Outside Antenna toward the nearest cell phone tower. To find the nearest tower, use an app such as ‘Open Signal’. T his is the most critical step of the installation process because it will determine the overall performance of the booster system. The greater the separation between the Inside and Outside Antennas, the better performance you will get from the booster.
______ Step 2-B: Mount Bracket To Outside Antenna Attach the Mount to the Outside Antenna and use the Bolts/Pole Bracket to attach to a pole. Outside Antenna Pole (1.25”-2.5”dia.) Antenna Mount Pole Bracket Drip holes face down NOTE: Mounting on existing roof exhaust pipe would be a good time-saver option. Watch out for power lines.
______ Step 3: Route & Connect Cable To System Connect the white Cable to Outside Antenna and route cable into the home. All connections should be hand tightened only. Inside Antenna Outside Antenna Booster RG-6 Cable Route cable to the Home MultiRoom Booster and connect to port labeled ‘OUTSIDE’.
______ Step 4: Power Up The Booster & Optimize The System Plug the Power Supply into wall outlet then connect to the Booster (turn 90° to lock connector).
______ (STEP 4 cont.) After powering up your system, you are now ready to optimize your system. Rotate the Outside Antenna in 1/4 turn increments, after each turn, unplug and reconnect the booster to power while observing the signal level on your cell phone from the Inside Antenna’s projected area. Secure the Outside Antenna in place, pointing in the direction that gives you the strongest signal.
______ Measuring Booster Performance How To Get Signal Strength As A Number iPhone® Dial *3001#12345#* then press Call. 1 H old down power button until you see 'Slide to Power Off'. 2 Then release the power button. 3 Hold the Home button until your main screen appears. If you want to check 3G/1x but your iPhone is picking up 4G/ LTE signal, go to Settings>Cellular>Cellular Data Options>Enable LTE>Select Off.
______ (MEASURING BOOSTER PERFORMANCE cont.) Signal Strength without Booster Note here: Signal Strength with Booster Note here: Compare Results Having an accurate measurement of signal strength in decibels (dBm) is crucial when installing your system. Decibels accurately measure the signal strength you are receiving.
______ Light Patterns Solid Green This indicates that your booster is functioning properly and there are no issues with installation. Blinking Green, Then Red Band has reduced gain. This indicates that one or more of the booster bands has reduced power due to a feedback loop condition called oscillation. This is a built in safety feature to prevent harmful interference with a nearby cell tower. If you are already experiencing the desired signal boost, then no further adjustments are necessary.
______ Troubleshooting IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THE COVERAGE, THESE LIGHT ISSUES DON’T HAVE TO BE RESOLVED. YOUR CARRIER’S BAND HAS NOT BEEN AFFECTED. FIXING ANY RED LIGHT ISSUES This involves Solid Red & Blinking Green/Red lights. 1 Verify Outside Antenna faces away from the Inside Antenna. Un-plug and replug in power supply. 2 Verify the Inside Antenna is at least 18” from the Booster and pointed away from the Booster. Unplug and re-plug in power supply.
______ Antenna Kit Options The following accessories are certified by the FCC to be used with the Home MultiRoom Booster.
______ Safety Guidelines To uphold compliance with network protection standards, all active cellular devices must maintain at least six feet of separation distance from Inside Panel and Dome antennas. Use only the power supply provided in this package. Use of a non-weBoost product may damage your equipment. The Signal Booster unit is designed for use in an indoor, temperature-controlled environment (less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit).
